Token help - SOLVED

[ModernMiner]

I dug this token up at the 1830's house today. It's in pretty bad shape, but I would love to know what it says and maybe how old it is.
It's about the size of a nickel. Not sure or the material (heavy), but it is corroding in some spots possibly from fertilizers?
Pictured is the token, and the letters I can make out.
Any guesses?
Thanks,
MM

Re: Token help - Any ideas?

my GUESS would be movie token, but I will have to look at some of mine to try and match the letters.

property ( of) vender / (for) entertainment (use) only --- very common on "ilegall slots " (which were very common late 1890s thru 1940's)--so the owners could say the slugs had no value --thus no gambling was going on "offically" --size told you its value --thus yours is a 5 cent one
